Watch a demonstration of MEGA, an open-source, web-based geographic information system (GIS) developed by the Getty Conservation Institute and The World Monuments Fund to inventory and manage archaeological sites.

This is a brief 5-minute overview of the basic functionality of the system. Tutorial videos are available at megajordan.org.

A demonstration of Freeance Mobile on iPhone and Androids. Freeance Mobile lets you create and manage custom GIS mapping apps for the public on iPhones, Androids and BlackBerrys. It lets you create custom forms, map controls and searches. It lets you build different maps and map tools to meet the needs of different user groups. It also lets you build GPS enabled forms for the varied field data collection work in your organization.

This is a webinar by Tamara Manik-Perlman of Azavea. Azavea specializes in the creation of geographic web and mobile software, as well as geospatial analysis services to enhance decision-making. Tamara is a GIS Analyst and Project Manager for the DecisionTree and the Cartography and Analysis teams, performing spatial database development, user interface design, geospatial analysis, cartography, and technical writing and editing. Much of her work, though, boils down to asking the right questions at the right times.

Chances are, your organization possesses a wealth of spatial data and you may not even realize it. This webinar gets you started thinking spatially and will illustrate how maps can be powerful tools for planning programs, demonstrating outcomes, and communicating effectively with funders and policy-makers.

This webinar covers:

Best practices for collecting, managing and sharing geodata

An introduction to geocoding

An overview of key map types

Pointers to free and low-cost resources to get you started with mapping and GIS

Who should attend:
Nonprofit program, marketing, executive, and fundraising staff as well as IT support staff and consultants.

A demonstration of the Geospatial Mapping capabilities in the bioXL analytic application. The demonstration covers drilling, slicing and dicing of geospatial data in an OLAP cube from the highest level (country) to a lowest level (street level address).

Khaled El Emam discusses the challenges to de-identify complex data sets such as those containing longitudinal and geospatial information. The seminar begins with an overview of the type of data that we are concerned with and then explained why common de-identification methods will not work on these. This is followed by a demo of PARAT (version 2.3) showing how it can handle this kind of data. Dr. El Emam is a senior scientist at the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario Research Institute and the founder and CEO of Privacy Analytics Inc.

This video will demonstrate how to georeference a data file that has no spatial information associated with it (such as a jpeg of a satellite image) to have spatial information. This enables the user to add other geospatial layers to the ArcMap project and have all the layers lined up and projected properly. This tutorial will show you how to do so in ArcMap 9.

LiDAR-Online.com is a web platform to promote LiDAR data as well as, improving and making easier the access to this type of high accurate data for expert and non-expert users. This website follows a social network model, allowing users and providers to publish, obtain and manage online information, as well as, to interconnect the LiDAR community.

This video tutorial explains how to get ready to obtain benefits from the use of LiDAR on the Internet. This new, cloud-based service is designed to provide organisations with a central location for managing lidar, ortho imagery and geospatial data, while allowing users to view the point cloud data without the need for specialized software and knowledge.
